The 2024 Indianapolis 500, branded as the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge for sponsorship reasons, was a 500-mile (804.5 km, 200 lap) race in the 2024 IndyCar Series, that happened on Sunday, May 26, 2024 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, United States. The month of May activities formally began on Saturday, May 11 with the Sonsio Grand Prix on the combined road course. Practice on the oval began on Tuesday May 14. Time trials were held on May 18–19, and Carb Day, the traditional final day of practice, along with the Pit Stop Challenge, happened on May 24.

Josef Newgarden of Team Penske entered the race as the defending winner. Scott McLaughlin of Team Penske, won the pole position with a four-lap average speed of 234.220 miles per hour (376.941 km/h), the fastest pole speed in Indy history. Team Penske swept all three spots on the front row (McLaughlin, Will Power, Josef Newgarden), the first time that had been accomplished since Penske did so in 1988. For the first time since 2014, a driver attempted to pull a "Double Duty". Kyle Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion, qualified 5th and attempted to compete in both the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. However, a lengthy rain delay led to a start time of 4:44 p.m. ET, with Larson deciding to commit to racing at Indianapolis regardless of when the race ends, which due to the rules involving lights, would have ended after 8:15 p.m. ET even if the race still had laps to run. In addition, NASCAR would end up ending the 2024 Coca-Cola 600 early due to rain before Larson could get into the car.

Newgarden won the race after passing Pato O'Ward in turn three on the final lap for his second Indianapolis 500 victory in a row. It was the fourth Indianapolis 500 to end in a last lap pass after 2006, 2011, and 2023. He became the first driver to win the race two years in a row since Hélio Castroneves won in 2001 and 2002. ^[6]

Race background

Main articles: Indianapolis 500 and Indianapolis Motor Speedway

The Pagoda, the control tower which houses officials, broadcasting, and hospitality suites, is an icon at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Turn one at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The Indianapolis 500, commonly called the Indy 500, is held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a 2.5-mile (4.02 km) paved oval superspeedway. The track, built in 1909, is a rounded rectangle, with four distinct turns of identical dimensions, connected by four straightaways (two long straightaways and two "short chutes"). The turns are banked at 9°12', considered modest for oval track standards in the U.S. Traditionally, the field consists of 33 starters, aligned in a starting grid of eleven rows of three cars apiece. Drivers race 200 laps, counter-clockwise around the circuit, for a distance of 500 miles (804.7 km). The first "500" was held in 1911, and the race has been held continuously except during World War I (1917–1918) and during World War II (1942–1945). The track is nicknamed the "Brickyard", as the racing surface was paved in brick during the fall of 1909. The track surface has long since been paved over in asphalt, with most of the original bricks remaining deep underneath. ^[8] A single yard of bricks remains exposed at the start/finish line.

The event is contested by "Indy cars", a formula of professional-level, single-seat, open cockpit, open-wheel, purpose-built race cars. The race is the most prestigious event of the IndyCar calendar, and one of the oldest and most important automobile races in the world. ^[9]

The race is sanctioned by INDYCAR, and pays points toward the NTT IndyCar Series championship. The drivers come from a broad range of racing experience, with many having climbed the ladder of the "Road to Indy". Some drivers arrive at Indy with previous experience in Sports car racing (IMSA, SCCA), NASCAR, and Formula One.

In the event of a rain delay, the race will be halted and postponed until precipitation ceases, and the track is dried. The race is considered official once more than 50% of the laps have been completed (i.e. 101 laps). In case of rain or darkness, officials can end the race early if more than 101 laps have been completed; if fewer than 101 laps have been recorded, the resumption will be scheduled for the next possible day. The track does not have permanent lighting, making it unsuitable for night racing. If there is a late-race caution period, the race does not employ a green-white-checker rule to extend the race beyond its advertised distance. However, at the officials' discretion, a late-race red flag may be used to help provide for a finish under green flag conditions. ^[10]

Sponsorship

On May 25, 2022, it was announced that online financial services company Gainbridge reached a multiyear agreement to extend their presenting sponsorship of the Indianapolis 500. ^[11] The extension was for an undisclosed length. This will be the second year under the current deal. ^[12] Gainbridge originally signed a four-year deal which was in place from 2019 to 2022. ^[13]

Rule changes

• Plans to debut a brand new 2.4-L displacement hybrid engine formula for 2024 were scrapped in late 2022. ^[14] An amended plan was proposed to modify the existing 2.2L twin-turbocharged V6 engines with an energy recovery system. This innovative hybrid assist system was scheduled to debut at St. Petersburg on March 10. However, on December 7, 2023, IndyCar announced that its introduction would be delayed until after the Indianapolis 500. ^[15]
• Car weight will be reduced by approximately 30 pounds (14 kg) due to the integration of new lightweight parts and components. ^[16]
• All cars will be required to use new, stronger rear suspension uprights for all oval events. The new parts were introduced in response to an incident during the 2023 race in which a wheel assembly broke free from Kyle Kirkwood's car and was launched over the catch fencing. ^[17]
• Cars are allowed 9° of inclination on the rear wing, up from 5° previously, and Gurney flaps have been deleted from the trailing edge of the underwing flaps. Trimmed sidewalls at the exit of diffusers have been banned; full-width sidewalls are now required. Lastly, inner bargeboards have been banned while outer bargeboards are still permitted. ^[18]
• Drivers will be prohibited from going below the white line in "breaking the draft" moves that extends from the exit of turn four to the pit attenuator on the mainstretch. ^[19] The move, commonly seen at NASCAR, and in the past, INDYCAR races most notably at Pocono Raceway, occurs at Indianapolis in both series where drivers deliberately veer on straights in order to defend from other cars drafting and making slingshot passes. In the 2022 and 2023 races, drivers have increasingly been overtly aggressive in breaking the draft, using the apron at the exit of Turn 2 and Turn 4 (which also serves as Turn 1 of the car road course and Turn 16 of the motorcycle configuration), perilously close to the pit attenuator in blocking. This practice is now prohibited. ^[20]

Track improvements

• 1,700 feet of catchfence has been installed along the inside of turn three. ^[21]
• 800 feet of new SAFER barrier has been installed along the inside of turn four
• 85 feet of new SAFER barrier has been installed along the inside of the north short chute, replacing old Armco-style guardrail. ^[21]
• All existing SAFER barriers have been upgraded with new foam. ^[21]
• The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum closed in November 2023 for substantial renovations. It is scheduled to reopen in 2025 after an $89 million renovation and modernization project. ^[22]

2024 IndyCar Series

Main article: 2024 IndyCar Series

The 2024 Indianapolis 500 will be the fifth points-paying race (and sixth overall) of the 2024 NTT IndyCar Series season. ^[23] Five different drivers won the first five point-paying races. Josef Newgarden initially won the season opener at St. Petersburg, but on April 24 he was disqualified for violating push-to-pass parameters. Pato O'Ward was declared the winner. ^[24] Álex Palou won the non-points event at the Thermal Club, Scott Dixon won at Long Beach and Scott McLaughlin won at Alabama. Álex Palou won the Sonsio Grand Prix on the IMS road course and leads the championship points standings going into the Indy 500.

After an internal investigation in the aftermath of the aforementioned push-to-pass violations, Team Penske suspended four team members for both the Sonsio Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500. The four members are: team president Tim Cindric (race strategist for Josef Newgarden), managing director Ron Ruzewski, Luke Mason (race engineer for Josef Newgarden), and Senior Data Engineer Robbie Atkinson (data specialist for Will Power). ^[25]

Race schedules

The 2024 IndyCar Series schedule was announced on September 25, 2023, with the Indianapolis 500 scheduled for Sunday, May 26. ^[23] Practice, time trials, and other ancillary events are scheduled for the two weeks leading up to the race. The Speedway hosted an eclipse-viewing event on April 8 in conjunction with Purdue University, ^[26] followed by the annual Open Test held on April 10–11. The test days will include additional rookie orientation sessions and refresher tests as needed. The Sonsio Grand Prix, including the Indy NXT and other USF Pro (formerly the "Road to Indy") races, will serve as the opening weekend of track activity on May 10–11.

Entry list

Further information: 2024 IndyCar Series § Confirmed entries

Josef Newgarden entered as the defending race winner.

Four-time race winner Hélio Castroneves (2001, 2002, 2009, 2021) had the most previous starts in the field with 23.

All entries utilized a spec Dallara IR18 chassis with universal aero kit and 2020-adopted aeroscreen. Honda (HRC) and Chevrolet (Ilmor) are the current engine providers. ^{[27] [28]} Firestone was the exclusive tire supplier. There were 34 confirmed entries for the race, including eight former winners and seven race rookies. A tentative 35th entry by Abel Motorsports (R. C. Enerson) was withdrawn on May 3. ^[29]

Four-time race winner Hélio Castroneves entered for the 24th time (all consecutive), the most of any active driver. 2019 winner Simon Pagenaud did not participate, as he was still recovering from injuries suffered in a crash at Mid-Ohio in July 2023. ^[30] 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson entered with a view to becoming the fifth driver to complete "Double Duty", racing the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 in the same day. Former winner Tony Kanaan retired after the 2023 race, but was named as Larson's replacement in the No. 17 should a conflict arise which would preclude Larson's participation in the 500. ^[31]

Callum Ilott substituted for the injured David Malukas in the No. 6 Arrow McLaren entry during the April Open test. ^[32] Ilott later replaced Malukas entirely for the 500 after Malukas was released from the McLaren team in late April. ^{[33] [34]}

Testing and Rookie Orientation

Rookie rules for the Indianapolis 500 include the mandate that a driver pass a supervised high-speed oval test before he/she is allowed to participate in the official Rookie Orientation Program (ROP) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. ^[66] Approved venues for the initial high-speed oval track test include Texas Motor Speedway, Homestead–Miami Speedway, and a few other select venues. ^[67]

The Rookie Orientation Program at Indianapolis consists of three phases. For phase 1, each driver was required to complete ten laps between 205–210 mph (330–338 km/h), while demonstrating satisfactory car control, proper racing line, and safe interaction with other cars on the circuit. The laps do not have to be consecutive. Phase 2 was fifteen laps between 210–215 mph (338–346 km/h), and phase 3 was fifteen laps over 215 mph (346 km/h). Veteran drivers that have not competed in an IndyCar oval race since the previous year's Indy 500 are required to take a refresher test. The refresher test consists of phase 2 and phase 3 of the aforementioned rookie test. ^[68]

Rookie Orientation - October 2023

Kyle Larson completed Rookie Orientation on October 12.

The Rookie Orientation Program was held October 11–12, 2023. Four drivers were scheduled to participate: Marcus Armstrong, Linus Lundqvist, Tom Blomqvist and 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson. Armstrong, Lundqvist, and Blomqvist had each participated the previous month in high-speed oval rookie test at Texas, which gave them eligibility to participate. Rookie Kyffin Simpson was ineligible to participate, having yet to complete the Texas test. ^[69] The officials ruled that Larson exempt from the Texas test due to his extensive experience on high-speed ovals in NASCAR competition. ^[69]

Armstrong, Lundqvist, and Blomqvist each passed all three phases of the rookie test on Wednesday. ^[70] The three drivers completed a total of 285 laps without major incident. Lundqvist reportedly suffered some mechanical problems, but was able to return to the track and finish his test. Larson, who is preparing to do "Double Duty", arrived and completed his test on Thursday. Larson took his first ever laps in an Indy car, logging a total of 72 laps without incident. ^[71]

Oval evaluation testing (Phoenix) - February 2024

Race rookie Kyle Larson conducted an oval evaluation test with Arrow McLaren at Phoenix Raceway on February 5. It was Larson's first time driving an Indy car since he participated in rookie orientation the previous October. Larson completed 172 laps without major incident. During his final stint, Larson reported that he nearly spun out in turn one, but was able to regain control of the car. ^{[74] [75]}

Rookie oval test (Texas) - March 2024

The series hosted a high-speed oval rookie evaluation test at Texas Motor Speedway on March 27. Three drivers participated: Kyffin Simpson, ^[76] Christian Rasmussen, and Nolan Siegel. Veteran drivers Ed Carpenter and Álex Palou were also there in compliance with Series rules to shake down their team cars and establish a base setup. Rasmussen completed 134 laps, Simpson completed 202 laps, and Siegel completed 146 laps. All three drivers completed their evaluations and were approved to take the Rookie Orientation Program at the April Open Test at Indianapolis. ^[77]

• Weather: 74 °F (23 °C), Mostly cloudy with occasional light rain in the late afternoon
• Summary: Thursday practice was held from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Overnight, the Arrow McLaren team elected to change the engine in Kyle Larson's car after issues the day before. The first major incident of the month occurred at 11:29 a.m. when Linus Lundqvist lost control of his car in turn 2 and impacted the outside wall with the right-rear of his car. Lundqvist was uninjured in the accident. ^[84] Alexander Rossi suffered mechanical issues during the morning, stalling on pit lane with apparent driveline issues. ^[85] At 3:49 p.m., the second major incident of the day occurred when Marcus Ericsson lost control of his car in turn 4 and heavily impacted the outside wall.

Fast Friday — Friday May 17

Colton Herta had the fastest lap on Fast Friday.

• Weather: 73 °F (23 °C), Mostly cloudy
• Summary: Friday practice was held from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Teams were allowed to increase their turbocharger boost levels to qualifying levels, resulting in higher speeds. Most of the day was spent by teams practicing qualifying runs for the following day. At 1:38 p.m. rookie Nolan Siegel suffered an incident after losing control of his car in turn 2 and impacting the outside wall. As Siegel's car slid after the impact, the rear of the car lifted off the ground and flipped the car over, with the car coming to a rest still upside down. Siegel was uninjured in the accident. ^[88] At 3:16 p.m., Álex Palou suffered an apparent engine issue, which brought a brief stoppage in running while safety crews cleaned fluid dropped from his ailing car. ^[89] Colton Herta was fastest during the session, running a lap at 234.974 mph (378.154 km/h). Josef Newgarden ran the fastest "no-tow" lap of the day at 234.260 mph (377.005 km/h), which was fast enough for third fastest lap overall on the day. Newgarden also ran the fastest 4-lap average – a simulation of a qualifying run for the race – at 234.063 mph (376.688 km/h). ^[90]

Following practice, the random draw to determine qualifying order was conducted.

All entered cars were eligible for guaranteed attempt on Saturday, then unlimited additional attempts were permitted, time-permitting, until 5:50 p.m.

Team Penske dominated the day, with their cars taking the top three spots. Will Power ran the fastest four-lap average of the trio at 233.758 mph (376.197 km/h). Chevrolet-powered cars occupied the majority of the "Top 12", with nine cars advancing to Sunday's qualifying. ^[91] Rinus VeeKay suffered an accident during his first qualifying attempt, after losing control of his car in turn 3 and impacting the outside wall. ^[92] His Ed Carpenter Racing team was able to repair the car and he completed a qualifying attempt later in the day (he ranked 29th). However, in a surprise move, with 8 minutes left in the day, VeeKay withdrew his time. He bumped his way into the "Top 12" with a speed of 232.419 mph (374.042 km/h). ^[91]

With only the top 30 cars locked in during Saturday qualifying, the slowest four qualifiers would need to qualify again on Sunday in the Last Chance Qualifying session. For the second year in a row, Graham Rahal was too slow to make the top 30 and would participate in the Last Chance session. Also relegated to Last Chance Qualifying were Katherine Legge, Marcus Ericsson, and Nolan Siegel, the latter two of which had suffered accidents during pre-qualifying practice sessions. ^[91]

Though the Chevrolet-powered cars appeared to have better performance than the Hondas, several of the Chevrolet entries suffered engine issues. Arrow McLaren drivers Pato O'Ward and Kyle Larson both suffered a sudden loss of power from their engines during their first attempts, though both successfully completed runs later in the day. ^[93] During late afternoon running, Conor Daly, Agustín Canapino, Ed Carpenter and Christian Rasmussen all aborted attempts to improve qualifying times after suffering similar losses of power. ^[91] Representatives from Chevrolet explained after the session that the loss of power was a result of fuel in the plenum burning off in some cases upon drivers shifting down gears, causing the fuel-air charge in the chamber to evaporate and causing a temporary engine shut-off. ^[94]

Sunday, May 19

• Weather: 86 °F (30 °C), partly cloudy
• Summary: Sunday qualifications were divided into three sessions. The first session was the Top 12 qualifying session at 3:00 p.m., during which the top six qualifiers would advance to the Fast Six session later in the day, while positions 7–12 would be locked in place. The second session of the day was the Last Chance Qualifying session from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., which would determine positions 31–33 and the one entry failing to qualify for the race. The final session of the day was the Fast Six session beginning at 5:15 p.m., which would set the top six starting positions.

A two-hour practice session was held from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. The first hour was reserved for the "Top 12" participants, and the second hour was set aside for the "Last Chance" qualifiers. Josef Newgarden (234.052 mph) turned the fastest lap of the session. ^[95] All eligible drivers took laps except for Rinus VeeKay. During the second hour, Graham Rahal reported a vibration while on a practice run, which turned out to be a loose lug nut. Rahal was able to keep the car under control, and drove back to the pits without incident. Katherine Legge (231.304 mph) was the quickest of the "Last Chance" drivers. ^[95]

Top 12 qualifying

• Summary: Top 12 qualifying began at 3:00 p.m. Team Penske cars locked out the top three spots for the second consecutive session, with Scott McLaughlin qualifying fastest with an average of 233.492 mph (375.769 km/h).

Last Chance Qualifying

• Summary: Last Chance Qualifying began at 4:00 p.m. and ran until 5:00 p.m. The session determined positions 31–33 for the starting grid and which car would not qualify. Each car was given one guaranteed attempt, with subsequent attempts allowed but requiring the withdrawal of a previous attempt. Marcus Ericsson was slowest after the guaranteed runs after misjudging which of his four laps he was completing and slowing too early. With 25 minutes remaining, Ericsson deliberately ran a slow qualifying attempt in order to cool his engine (a tactic similar to previous years of the three-round system, when the top six teams that advanced to the final qualifying round for the pole were given a few laps under the safety car to cool their engines down) of 3:33.0358 for a speed of 168.986 miles per hour (271.957 km/h). Track action remained silent for the next twenty minutes.

With six minutes remaining, rookie Nolan Siegel was on the bubble. Ericsson returned to the track with six minutes remaining in the session and ran an average of 230.027 miles per hour (370.193 km/h) to bump himself into the field, in the process bumping Nolan Siegel out of the field. Siegel returned to the track shortly after Ericsson's run in a last ditch effort to improve his speed, but on his second lap made contact with the outside wall in turn 1, causing him to lose control and crash heavily in to the turn 2 SAFER barrier. Siegel was uninjured, but failed to qualify for the race. ^[97]

Race report

Cars completing a parade lap before the start of the race.

• Weather: 75 °F (24 °C), severe thunderstorms in the early afternoon, mostly cloudy in the late afternoon and evening.

The race was scheduled to begin at 12:45 p.m. on May 26. However, strong thunderstorms delayed the start of the race. ^[106] The race ultimately was started at 4:44 p.m. after track drying was completed. ^[107] With sunset at 9:01 p.m., the Speedway and local authorities established a time-certain finish of 8:15 p.m. local time. The checkered flag would wave at the completion of 200 laps or at the end of 3 hour, 31 minutes of racing.

It was the latest start time of an Indianapolis 500.

First half

Prior to the start of the race, Callum Ilott suffered mechanical issues with his car and came to the pit lane. Ilott was able to take the start of the race, but started from the rear of the field. ^[108]

At the start, Scott McLaughlin moved in to the lead from his pole position start. The race almost immediately fell in to a caution period, as farther in the field, Tom Blomqvist lost control of his car in turn 1 and collected Marcus Ericsson, causing both drivers to make contact with the outside wall. ^[109] As cars attempted to avoid Blomqvist and Ericsson, Pietro Fittipaldi and Ilott made contact, causing Fittipaldi to lose control of his car and impact the wall in the south short-chute. ^[109] Blomqvist, Ericsson, and Fittipaldi all retired from the race from the incident. ^[109] Fittipaldi was held in the infield medical center for an extended check, but was released after being deemed to have no injuries. ^[109] During the caution period to clean up the accident, Marcus Armstrong also fell out of the race after suffering an engine failure in his car. ^[110] Racing resumed on lap 9, with McLaughlin maintaining his lead over his Team Penske teammates Josef Newgarden and Will Power. ^[108] The race's second caution period came at lap 23, when Katherine Legge slowed on the race track with an engine failure. ^[110] During the caution, the majority of the field made pit stops for the first time, with McLaughlin emerging first. A small number of drivers who had pitted during the first caution stayed out on track, resulting in Sting Ray Robb taking the lead of the race. ^[108]

Racing resumed on lap 26, with Conor Daly, who had also stayed out during the caution, moving in to the lead. ^[108] Two laps later, the third caution of the race came, as Linus Lundqvist lost control of his car after entering turn 1 four-wide with other cars, causing him to impact the outside wall. ^[111] Racing resumed at lap 32, with Scott McLaughlin taking the lead back. McLaughlin and Pato O'Ward battled for the lead, while Daly remained in the lead pack until needing to make his next scheduled pit stop. ^[108] The fourth caution of the race came at lap 56, when Felix Rosenqvist suffered an engine failure in his car and stopped on the back stretch. ^[110] After more pit stops, Conor Daly returned to the lead of the race.

Racing resumed on lap 64. One lap later, Sting Ray Robb passed Daly to take the lead of the race. Once he and Daly pitted again, McLaughlin returned to the lead of the race. Colton Herta, who had started 13th, steadily moved up the field and eventually took second place behind McLaughlin, but on lap 86 lost control of his car in turn 1 and made contact with the outside wall, drawing the race's fifth caution period. Herta climbed from the car, but later returned to the race after the crew found the damage repairable - Herta would ultimately complete 170 laps before retiring from the race. ^[108] Racing resumed at lap 91. As pit stops cycled through, several drivers took brief turns leading the race, including Rinus VeeKay and Christian Lundgaard. As the pit cycle was completed, Josef Newgarden inherited the lead at the halfway point.

Second half

The race's sixth caution period came at lap 107, when Ryan Hunter-Reay and Scott Dixon made contact on the back straight, causing Hunter-Reay to spin. The damage to Hunter-Reay's car would force him out of the race. ^[111] Racing resumed at lap 114 with McLaughlin taking the lead back from Newgarden, but the race's seventh caution period came almost immediately, as Marco Andretti lost control of his car in turn 1 and impacted the outside wall. ^[108] Racing resumed again on lap 118. McLaughlin and Newgarden remained in the lead, while Alexander Rossi and Santino Ferrucci also joined them in the lead battle. As the leaders made their penultimate pit-stops around lap 135, Scott Dixon and Pato O'Ward, who were on alternate pit strategies, moved to the lead of the race. When they pitted, Conor Daly and Sting Ray Robb were shuffled to the front again as they ran their off-sequence pit strategy, while Dixon and O'Ward managed to remain ahead of Newgarden and McLaughlin. ^[108]

The eighth and final caution period of the day came at lap 147, when Will Power lost control of his car in turn 1 and impacted the outside wall. Robb and Daly pitted during the caution, handing the lead to Dixon. The race restarted on lap 155. The lead battle was between Dixon, O'Ward, and Alexander Rossi as the field worked toward their final pit stops. Newgarden and Álex Palou ran just behind them. Scott McLaughlin, who had led much of the early running, began to slip down the order with problems with the clutch on his car slowing him. ^[108]

Finish

Josef Newgarden celebrates his win.

The final round of pit stops came around lap 170. After the final pit stops, Josef Newgarden emerged ahead of Scott Dixon, with the Arrow McLaren teammates Alexander Rossi and Pato O'Ward behind. Rossi moved past Dixon and began a battle with Newgarden, with the two exchanging the lead several times. On lap 187, O'Ward passed Dixon for 3rd, and on lap 190 passed Rossi for 2nd and began to battle Newgarden. On the final lap, O'Ward successfully completed a pass to take the lead in turn one, but was passed back by Newgarden as they entered turn 3. Newgarden held the lead through the final corner to take victory for the second year in a row. ^[111]

Newgarden became the first driver to win back-to-back Indianapolis 500s since Hélio Castroneves in 2001 and 2002. He also became sixth driver in the history of the race to win consecutive runnings of the race, joining Castroneves, Wilbur Shaw, Mauri Rose, Bill Vukovich, and Al Unser. Additionally, Newgarden received a $440,000 bonus prize from BorgWarner for winning consecutive runnings. ^[112] Newgarden received a record $4.288 million from a purse of $18,456,000. ^[113] The victory was the 20th Indianapolis 500 win for Team Penske. ^[111] The series initially announced 18 drivers led at least one lap during the race, but after review published a revised box score with only 16 leaders - the leader count was still a new record for most leaders in a single running of the Indianapolis 500. ^{[114] [115]} Kyle Larson was voted rookie of the year after qualifying fifth and finishing 18th in the race. ^[113]

Broadcasting

Television

The race was carried live on television in the United States on NBC Sports. ^{[116] [117]} Originally, it was planned for the race to be blacked out in the Indianapolis market, keeping in line with IndyCar's long standing blackout policies; a tape-delayed broadcast would have been shown on local NBC affiliate WTHR. After a weather delay, WTHR announced that the race would air live in Indianapolis. ^[118] It was the first time the race has aired live in Indianapolis since 2021, when attendance restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic limited the tickets sold. ^[119]

On May 14, NBC announced that Jimmie Johnson would join the broadcast team for pre-race coverage and in-race analysis before leaving Indianapolis to compete in the Coca-Cola 600 later in the day. ^[120] On May 16, NBC announced that both Danica Patrick and Mike Tirico would reprise their roles in pre-race and post-race coverage that they had held for several years. NBC's NASCAR commentator Jeff Burton and pit reporter Kim Coon joined the broadcast as roaming reporters. ^[121]
